George Kittle combats scoring drought by noting that ‘Niners are winning’

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:31:59 GMT

SANTA CLARA — A grin washed over Brock Purdy’s face Thursday when asked if he feels any guilt about not getting George Kittle the ball more, or if that’s a moot point when the 49ers keep scoring 30 points and keep winning.“Everyone has their big games. It’s just sort of how the play calls go,” Purdy responded. “If it were up to me, I’d love to have all my guys, including George, go for 150 every game and four touchdowns. But it’s just the nature of the game, and every game is different.”Sunday night’s game is against the Cowboys, who’ll be looking to avenge playoff losses to the 49ers each of the past two seasons. Last January, with the score tied 9-9, Purdy and Kittle improvised for a 30-yard completion to midfield, sparking a go-ahead touchdown drive in the 49ers’ 19-12 divisional-playoff win.“That was nice, right?” Kittle said of that catch. “… When the ball’s thrown your way, you have to make the...

Mystery objects falling from the sky may be spider 'balloons'

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:31:59 GMT

(KRON) -- Local residents in Morgan Hill, Gilroy, and Capitola sent KRON4 photographs and videos this week of mysterious objects falling on their neighborhoods. Morgan Hill resident Gina Watson shot images of strange, white webby objects that fell "from my house all the way to work," she said.John E. Banks, an environmental sciences professor at California State University Monterey Bay, said the objects are likely silky webs created by spiders that are ballooning. "No one has definitively figured out what they are, but they appear to be spider silk," Banks told KRON4.(Photo by Gina Watson)"Some of these sightings have been so far flung that people are wondering, why we are seeing these all at once?" Banks said.Ballooning is a skill several spiders species use to travel from one habitat to another. A spider will weave its own parachute or "balloon" and drift through the sky with help from wind, Banks explained. The spider is carried by the wind with hopes of reaching a location that ...

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:31:59 GMT

(KRON) -- The City of Burlingame will no longer allow remote public comment at city council and commission meetings, according to a statement posted on X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday. The San Mateo County city said the ban was in response to recent "Zoom-bombing" at city council and commission meetings.Individuals espousing anti-Semitic rhetoric have disrupted meetings around the Bay Area, according to the city. "This is unacceptable, hurtful, and goes against the City Council's commitment to remain 'United Against Hate,'" the posted statement said. Suspect arrested in fatal Union City mobile home park stabbing Burlingame's announcement cited a recent Monterey City Council meeting in which white supremacists used fake names, including those of infamous Nazis. Callers in that meeting espoused "hateful and ignorant speech," the City of Burlingame said.Similar incidents have occurred with remote commentators at recent city council meetings in Walnut Creek, San Mateo, San Carlos, Pa...

Feinstein remembered by dignitaries outside City Hall

Published Thu, 06 Mar 2025 03:31:59 GMT

(BCN) -- Shaded in the gilded dome of San Francisco's City Hall, presenters including Mayor London Breed, Vice President Kamala Harris, House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer delivered remembrances of Dianne Feinstein to a crowd of sun-drenched dignitaries Thursday. The trailblazing politician died last week at the age of 90. Their reflections were interrupted, sometimes accented, by random flyovers by the U.S. Navy Blue Angels aerobatic jet corps, who were practicing for San Francisco Fleet Week. Breed was quick to point out that Feinstein brought the Blue Angels to San Francisco in 1981, and now they were back to say goodbye. She recalled Feinstein being a source of advice when she became mayor. Blue Angels schedule, where to watch, what you need to know "Gold in peace, iron in war," said Breed describing Feinstein's support and advice to her throughout the pandemic. "Dianne will not only be remembered for what she showed us as an adult, but...

Matt Gaetz Says He Wants To Negotiate. Democrats Should Take Him Up On It.

This was originally published as a newsletter from Ryan Grim. Sign up to get the next one in your inbox.Let’s assume for the sake of argument that Matt Gaetz is not serious. At all. About anything. I don’t happen to believe that’s the case, but I can understand why somebody would. But I don’t think it matters. It doesn’t matter, because he’s now the equivalent of a free radical bouncing around the molecular structure of Congress, and nobody quite knows how the drama currently unfolding will end. Including Gaetz, as he conceded even before he launched his successful putsch against Kevin McCarthy, rendering the House speakerless since Tuesday. On Wednesday, taking Gaetz’s grievances about the way the House is run seriously, Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna proposed a series of reforms that would reduce the power of big money in politics, bank stock trading by members of Congress, and democratize the functioning of the House.On Thursday, Gaetz responded: “Ok. Let’s negotiate.” Gaetz...
